Statutory terms are inherited from New York. unknown — no single statewide investor interest rate. Enforcement is locality-delegated under RPTL Article 11; each tax district sets its own interest/penalty rate (e.g., NYC sells liens at rates like 18% on small parcels), so there is no uniform statewide figure. Most tax districts enforce by in-rem foreclosure (the district takes title, then resells), but some localities (notably NYC and Nassau County) sell tax liens to investors — so the mechanism and any investor rate depend entirely on the locality, not state law.
